They do, they're really great. I used them yesterday on a VERY muddy race and they saved me a couple times on muddy & grassy corners. They're the first time I've had a tyre wash out on me but then re-engage 2-4 inches later with me staying up. The corners were bad yesterday, you had to ride the flat ones "outrigger" style, it was a hoot actually.

Next step is I need to experiment with how low I can go with them - I ran them at 40psi b/c I was late for the start and didn't have a small pump with me. I've made the mistake a couple times of over-deflating my tyres, learning they were too low, then not being close enuf to the pits to skoot over, put a couple strokes in then scoot back and not miss my gridding. It's all about practicing the pre-race routine I guess.

Nice! Thanks for the feedback. I agree with you that pressure is very important. Always try to have a few laps before the race playing with pressure to find the one that suites you best.challenge

We have not experimented yet on tubeless solution on our tires but I have heard some riders have run them tubeless.I don’t know what sealant was used but they told us it worked. The problem we see with running them tubeless is thepressure. You need higher pressure to hold the beads in place so you lose the advantage of low pressure compared tousing a latex inner tube.If anyone has some information on running them tubeless please let us know.
